Fernando made most of the opportunity, under the testing ban rules, to check out the Ferrari's b-spec solution car, rumoured to debut at the Valencia GP this coming weekend.
The testing was carried out last week at Ferrari's legendary testing track, Fiorano. The testing ban allows teams to run their cars for promotional activities, and most of the team uses this to test the car with upgrads. "You have to make the most of any opportunity in this era of the testing ban," Ferrari team said. The footage of the car, filmed under the promotional filming rule, will feature on Ferrari's website and for team sponsor promotions. The spy shots of the car does show a red-bull type low exhausts, that is rumoured to increase the downforce and give more pace than the current F10, especially at fast corners. take a comparative look - here Though downforce doesn't play a major part in the track at the upcoming Valencia GP, the team would want to test and fine tune before it hits the Silverstone, British GP, where it would run to its full potential. Rivals Mclaren, Renault and Williams are also set to debut similar upgrades at Silverstone. However, Ferrari team by launching it a GP earlier, stands to gain intial advantage in terms of car mileage and on-track performance analysis. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
